Modern British Values

Modern British Values at Banks Road
 

The Government emphasises that schools are required to ensure that key ‘British Values’ are taught in all UK schools. The government set out its definition of British values in the ‘Prevent Strategy’ – values of:

  • Democracy
  • The rule of law
  • Individual liberty
  • Mutual respect
  • Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
At Banks Road we aim to teach acceptance of different faiths and beliefs as well as tolerance and discuss our ‘rights’ to support our children’s understanding of individual liberty.
 

The values are reflected throughout our school, including in our ethos, practices  and assemblies. Children also engage with the values through the curriculum in ways that are suitable for their age and context.
